Ian Prowse & Amsterdam

What to expect

Merseyside hero Ian Prowse is a guitarist, singer-songwriter and frontman of Amsterdam, and previously frontman of Pele; he was raised on protest songs, influenced by Celtic sounds, and inspired by Paul Weller, Mike Scott, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello.

His 30-year songwriting career and 100% committed live shows have gathered him a reputation as the ‘Scouse Springsteen’ among devoted fans; Amsterdam’s first single ‘The Journey’ hit the UK top 40.

Their song ‘Does This Train Stop on Merseyside?’ reduced John Peel to tears live on Radio 1 and was the centrepiece of Irish legend Christy Moore’s No.1 album ‘Listen’; Pele’s first 3 singles stormed the Radio 1 A-List, with ‘Megalomania’ reaching No.1 in the South Africa charts.

Ian is fresh from his Fireworks 30 Tour with Amsterdam and has been the support of choice for Elvis Costello, The Wonder Stuff, The Levellers and The Blow Monkeys.
